Hello All,
I am embarking on a new build of OMV that will start small: 4 x 4 TB disks, but will eventually expand to about 24 -36 TB of storage ( 6 - 9 x 4 TB + parity drives, of course). Thus, this OMV build needs to have a stable and robust file system now, but one that will allow more drives to be added in the future without going through the process of backing up the and destroying the existing drive array, if that is possible.
I would like opinions from the OMV Gurus here on what file system to use for this application. My understanding is that ZFS would not be a good choice due to the difficulty of adding additional drives, so what would be the best file system to install?
Thanks.
